They actually ARE what your own body makes, I'm told. I have been on them for about 12 years, and as far as I'm concerned, I'll always be on them. When I experimented with stopping them (they cost plenty) I got all the usual symptoms which were very life-impacting, plus in about two weeks too much hair started falling out! I guess I read too much Suzanne Somers (a great advocate of hormones, yes, the blonde TV star). I like my hormones!

I used it successfully for 2 years and then, one hot summer, it stopped working. The pharmacist said that in the summer a lot of her ladies needed a boost, so she'd tell them to also take red clover pills.

I ended up with the red clover and not the cream because it was $75 and not reimbursed by insurance. But it was great while it worked. The red clover helps.Notice the word "cure" isn't mentioned.
